Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates is selling the pricey Brooklyn brownstone he bought just last month — because The Post and other media outlets published his address.

The Prospect-Lefferts Gardens home has been put on the market for $2.395 million — $300,000 more than Coates paid for it in April, according to city property records.

Coates, one of the country’s most prominent writers on race, said in a magazine article earlier this month that he couldn’t move into the home now because he would fear for his family’s safety.

“You can’t really be a black writer in this country, take certain positions and not think about your personal safety,” the “Between the World and Me” author wrote.
